Multiple Positions Available
The Biomarker Development (BMD) group at the Novartis BioMedical Research is seeking a Imaging Expert to join our Clinical Imaging & Analytics team. You will actively provide strategic, scientific, technical, and operational leadership on the optimal use of imaging in drug development.
Join an imaging team that has extensive knowledge of structural and molecular biomarkers and their use in clinical and translational drug development. You will work with clinical trial teams to determine the role of imaging endpoints along new biological pathways across different therapeutic areas.
The role offers a wide view of molecules across various stages as they transition from research to early development and subsequently to Ph2-3 trials. As a part of building imaging endpoints, the role also provides unique exposure to variety of other critical biomarkers (soluble and genetics) for an integrated view of identifying unique patient populations and novel readouts of efficacy and safety.
About the Role
Key responsibilities:
- Act as an internal expert in PET/SPECT and Molecular Imaging with focus on clinical trials
- Partner with Oncology and General Medicine teams to develop and lead “fit for purpose” imaging strategy and execute on it.
- Implement Imaging in clinical trials to add critical insights on patient eligibility, efficacy, safety, and mechanism of action.
- Collaborate and execute imaging readouts with internal operational support and external contract research organizations (CRO).
- Ensure quality and timely execution of imaging trials to deliver critical drug development decisions; be agile and responsive to clinical teams during the course of design, execution and interpretation of imaging trials.
- Develop and manage network of external experts; be able to synthesize optimal inputs and customize for specific protocols.
- Collaborate with Research teams to develop and lead translational imaging studies.
- Drive molecular imaging and ligand development from late pre-clinic to clinic
- Identify and/or develop novel imaging techniques and endpoints and implement them into clinical trials.
Minimum requirements:
- Minimum requirements:
- PhD, MD, or MD/PhD with 3+ years experience for Principal Scientist II (1-2 years for Principal Scientist I) in PET/SPECT Imaging (academic or industry). Industrial experience in clinical trials and translational research is highly desirable.
- Technical knowledge in PET and SPECT for preclinical and clinical readouts.
- Experience in clinical Radioligand/Radiopharmaceutical Therapy (RLT/RPT) is a plus.
- Expertise in Radiochemistry and novel ligand development from bench to clinic is a plus.
- Experience in regulatory submission, FIH, dosimetry, and receptor occupancy of molecular ligands is a plus.
- Understanding of clinical trial design, statistics for endpoints, and clinical data flow is a plus
- Project management experience and working with imaging CROs; understanding of sites, budgets, and multisite trials is a plus.
- Proactive, self-motivated, and independent working style. Experience in a multidisciplinary team and understanding broader organizational goals.
